3 Ways to Wear White in Your Family Home

Here are three ways to wear white in your home and the little white lies we tell ourselves why we can’t have it with a family.

White Lie #1… I can’t have white because I have kids.. Did you know that dark fabrics actually stain worse than white.. What is key is to the get the right fabric a little off white and a woven that can be cleaned along with the carpet.

3) White Lie #3.. Too much white is boring.. This is a preference and in a Kitchen it is clean and open feel. Touch up is simple with paint where as stained cabinetry is much more difficult to touch up.
